Beirut & Tripoli · Established 2012
Navi-Trade serves vessel owners, charterers and traders at the ports of Beirut and Tripoli — port calls, freight and customs clearance handled by a family with more than a century in the shipping industry.
What we do
Owners get an agent who knows both ports. Traders get a forwarder with a global network behind them. Importers get a broker who files the declaration properly the first time.
A professional, trustworthy service for owners and charterers at Beirut and Tripoli: loading and discharging, stevedoring, ship chandling, shore passes and bunker supply — at reasonable cost, with smooth operations.

Import and export clearance for our local clients — documents prepared and declarations filed so cargo moves out of the terminal instead of sitting in it.
View service →Where we work
Navi-Trade was created to serve ships' owners at the ports of Beirut and Tripoli, and that is still where our people are.
Full agency representation for owners and charterers, cargo operations, crew formalities and supplies for vessels calling Beirut.
Our home port. Agency, freight and clearance handled from our office at El Mina, minutes from the quay.
Why Navi-Trade
The Issa family has worked in shipping for more than 100 years — as owners, charterers, agents, brokers, managers and operators. Navi-Trade was built on that experience and on a five-year contract with the American company LGL that established our reputation in the local market between 2013 and 2018.

View service →Service 01
Navi-Trade offers vessel owners and charterers a professional and trustworthy service at the ports of Beirut and Tripoli.
From loading and unloading cargoes, stevedoring, ship chandling, shore passes and bunker supply, through to every other service an owner needs during the call — arranged at very reasonable cost, with smooth operations from arrival to sailing.
Service 02
Container bookings, FTL and LTL, on FOB or CIF terms, door to door — whatever shape your shipment takes, we book it and follow it.
Our clients benefit from services across the world through a global network of agents, which lets us secure the best rates available and the fastest routes for each shipment rather than defaulting to one carrier.
Service 03
Navi-Trade offers local clients customs clearance for both import and export shipments.
We prepare and check the file before it is submitted, deal with the authorities directly when a query comes back, and follow the shipment through to delivery order and release — so the cargo leaves the terminal instead of sitting in it.
Home / About us
Who we are
Navi-Trade was established in late 2012 by Mr. Toufic Issa, who had a vision to expand his operations through his son, Mr. Tahsin, in the local market.
The Issa family has a long history in the shipping field, with more than 100 years of experience in the industry — as ship owners and charterers, vessel agents and brokers, managers and operators.
Navi-Trade was created to serve ships' owners at the ports of Beirut and Tripoli. With a five-year contract with the American company LGL, Navi-Trade earned its reputation in the local market and thrived in the shipping field, achieving strong results from 2013 through 2018.
We continue to serve our customers with utter professionalism, and our team ensures a great service and smooth operations for our clients' calls at both ports.
